Sauvignon Blanc is a grape that contains one of the most pungent and powerful of aromas in wine. Flavours of passion fruit, gooseberry, lantana, tomcat ,asparagus,tomato bush and tinned peas are possible, followed on the palate by very zingy crisp acid. Sauvignon Blanc grape makes wines with enough bite and sharpness to accompany quite rich fish dishes as being an obvious choice for seafood. The characteristic acid intensity makes a brilliant match with dishes made with tomato, but the best match of all is Sancerre and local Loire goats' cheese. Try wines from the following regions that are cooler such as Adelaide Hills, South Australia, Margaret River and Great Southern of Western Australia.
